One of the best sounding small guitars I've ever played. It has a remarkable amount of bass and volume for such a small-bodied guitar. If you think that you need a dreadnought-sized body to be heard, try one of these! I play a lot of acoustic blues, in the style of the greats from the '30's and '40's, and the PJ is perfect for that.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Like almost all SCGC guitars I've owned, this one is exquisitely crafted - Collings is the only other maker that can compare to the level of detail. I have adjusted the action to my liking at that nut and saddle. The short ~24" scale is great for fingerpicking.

It's a fine acoustic instrument - it will last forever if properly cared for.

One of my favorite guitars for just sitting down and playing fingerstyle guitar.
